For the past 14 years, which seems Lux Style Awards (LSA) were set in stone in the cultural calendar of Pakistan, but the latest installment may suspect not good for his position in the industry. Fluff wrapped in a sheet of glitz and glamor – After last year’s high tea-slash-award show, the LSAs in a format they are apparently more at ease with reset.

But a return to the familiar could not mask the cracks which become more and more clear how the program has progressed. It would be safe to say that the LSA were of a cocktail they have made a lot sipped undermined – a bit unlucky, individual mistakes and make things worse, making unbearable repetition.

Moving forward

Since the establishment of LSAs and the show still seems 14 years old to be stuck in the past. The ceremony of a was-there-done-that feeling was, retro fixed on the idea overwhelmed. Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan Bühneneingang in red car on the past 1990 tribute film stars Noor, Resham, Meera and Moammar Rana, was essentially the show repetition of past editions.

Already late embraced New Age cinema, local award shows were lagging on the entertainment quotient already behind with respect, and the desire to constantly celebrate the lost years of the Pakistani cinema seems nothing less than an exaggerated gimmick.

Hopeless Host

In the weeks before the LSAs, Fawad and Mahira reunion had become the host of the ceremony, the talk of the town. But amid hype and publicity, the small screen star couple failed to live up to its name. Although signs of boredom turned out at the beginning of the ceremony, it felt like her hosting gig soon bore resemblance to James Franco Anne Hathaway Oscars stint, lacks the punch, which are known as host Ellen DeGeneres. For several fumbles jokes cringe worthy, the duo was able to create the magic of new Humsafar.

Slippery slopes

If the LSAs worked as the Chinese calendar does, then would be 2013, the year of 2014 be the year of the Humsafar No award and 2015 the year of Urwa Hocane and Farhan Saeed. This is not just because the two are smitten with each other, but also because Farhan bagged the “Song of the Year” for his song LSA Roiyaan and Urwa … well, had a great fall.
